Toluene → 1-Methyl-4-[3-(3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-4-nitro-phenyl]-piperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask containing 1-(3-bromo-4-nitro-phenyl)-4-methyl-piperazine (68 mg, 0.2 mmol, as prepared in Example 4, step (a)), 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(3-methyl-thiophen-2-yl)-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (61 mg, 0.27 mmol, as prepared in the previous step) and Pd(PPh3)4 (14 mg, 6 mol %) was charged toluene (3 mL), ethanol (3 mL) and 2M Na2CO3 (4 mL). The resultant mixture was heated at 80° C. for 2 h and then poured into EtOAc (25 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by silica gel preparative thin layer chromatography (EtOAc) afforded 40 mg (63%) of the title compound as a light yellow solid. Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C16H19N3O2S, 318.1 (M+H), found 318.2.
